In enzymology a 27-hydroxycholesterol 7alpha-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.60) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction27-hydroxycholesterol + NADPH + H+ + O2 7alpha27-dihydroxycholesterol + NADP+ + H2OThe 4 substrates of this enzyme are 27-hydroxycholesterol NADPH H+ and O2 whereas its 3 products are 7alpha27-dihydroxycholesterol NADP+ and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
